Introducing BlackBerry 10: Overview
Introducing the reinvented BlackBerry – an intelligent and intuitive experience that constantly adapts to
your needs. Designed around three main views – your messages, your minimized apps, and all apps –
BlackBerry 10 OS allows you to effortlessly flow between tasks and applications with quick and simple
gestures.
BlackBerry Hub
The BlackBerry Hub gathers all of your messages and notifications into one convenient location. Receive
and respond to email, text messages, social networking messages, BBM chats, and instant messages.
With a single gesture from any screen, you can peek at your notifications, peek further into BlackBerry
Hub to see your messages, or peek at your upcoming meetings and events.
You can filter the types of messages that appear in the BlackBerry Hub, as well as show message
attachments that you receive. You can set prioritization rules for messages (for example, messages from
people who are attending an upcoming meeting with you) to show the most important messages and
notifications in the BlackBerry Hub.
With Instant Preview notifications, you can view email, BBM messages, text messages, and more almost
anywhere on your device. You can also reply to your BBM and text messages without leaving your
current app.

BlackBerry Keyboard
Your BlackBerry device is designed to learn what you tend to say and where in a sentence you tend to
say it. Your device uses this information to try to predict what word you might type next and displays
suggested words on the BlackBerry Keyboard. Simply flick the word up onto the screen to type
efficiently with just one hand. The tone for key presses on shift, symbol, and delete keys are different so
you can distinguish the keys from regular key presses. And you can even type in two or more languages
at once!
